New Directions in Group Communication

About this book

New Directions in Group Communication takes as its mission the setting of the agenda for the study of group communication in the future. It does so by presenting work that scholars have not previously explored in the current small group communication literature. PartĀ I focuses on new theoretical and conceptual directions, both presenting new views and extending current positions. PartĀ II examines new research methodologies, while PartĀ III looks at antecedent factors affecting group communication.Ā PartsĀ IV andĀ VĀ of the text provide insight into both group communication process and practices. PartĀ VI covers different group communication contexts, including communication patterns in top management teams.

An excellent companion to The Handbook of Group Communication Theory and Research, this volume sets the direction for future study for students and scholars alike.
